David Yun thinks Apple made some big mistakes with iOS 7 from a design / usability perspective and also from a brand perspective.

“It has a lot less to do with the design community and more to do with the constant drive to sell new products,” Yun explained. “That said, the intention of iOS 7 is completely valid. It’s the execution and the qualities of that execution that are in question. Here’s hoping for a closer look at those qualities in iOS 7.1!”

Some nobody wanting to get fifteen minutes of fame criticises a famous company who probably knows a billion times more about design than him.

Film at 11.

What a stupid thread title, nowhere in the article does he "slam" iOS 7. I actually read the article and if anyone took the time to do so, he actually complimented many aspects and suggested some improvements. Some of what he said is valid, for instance the removal of buttons hindering usability.

If you consider any constructive feedback as "slamming", you might as well plug your ears and stay off the internet. Or you could just grow up.

Did you by any chance read "people must stop talking about this" or something like that?

I asked that question because IOS 7 has been out for some time and people have had time to bash or praise said OS. Just some people keep whining about the same thing over and over again, and THAT'S annoying.

Did that clear things up?

no it dosent. if people are unhappy about it then good for them to speak their mind. perhaps adjustments will be made to accomodate their wishes. nothing will be done if nobody says anything but great.

the thread title kinda gives it away so if you are sensitive to this then there are other threads on this board where only the yes people hang out.

Not sensitive. Gave my opinion and that's it.
